NOT the song, but the right to tear it to pieces if you wish. I know it's not great, but it seems as if it is the best I can get it right now, at least live on the job, as it was recorded.

Nothing to tear up, very good job !! Nice recording for a live version and I've never heard that song before.

Give yourself a pat on the back.

As Bill said, nothing to tear up here, Don. Very nicely done...a slightly faster tempo works very well with this one.

Fine job, buddy.

Very Nice Job Don. You have a clear warm voice and the Korg sounds good. A warm resonant recording. Excellent.

Excellent arrangement (great style and backing choir)!
Your voice sounds a bit strained at times, like you were tired, but this kind of adds authenticity to your rendition.
Personally I would have anticipated the fill (with change of variation) before the flute starts to play.
Also, a pad with a conga loop could add a nice touch.
Well done and thanks for your present!
